The unnatural atmosphere that lingered in the camp disappeared into the night as the day ended, and then the beginning of a day of silence and spontaneous action of countless people, and then the chain of strange atmospheres belonging to this river was also like a curtain of countless ironclad forced nails in place, firmly surrounding the senses of the passing time of everyone who acted silently. It seems to be a silent rebellion against this silent atmosphere, and the bonfire dinners belonging to Duan Qing and others and all kinds of provocations unique to adventurers have also appeared around this camp over time, and they seem to have been forgotten by everyone in this way, trying to regain the fact that the previous silent search and return is now almost forgotten.

Things didn't go exactly the way they had imagined, but the effort did work anyway, and the attempt to break the situation was finally rewarded by the rise of another force - it seemed that because the search had not made any progress, many people in the Wab tribe finally began to voice their doubts, and the uneasiness within the tribe did not seem to have diminished with the cooperation and joint actions of the Nasu in the past two days, but became more and more over time. The oppressive atmosphere of some kind of rhetoric or prohibition began to erupt as more and more people stood up, blaming those who had kept moving in and out of the neighborhood in the name of searching, and although these voices soon died down in the running of more Wabu warriors and the cold eyes of others, the effects grew like sparks in the prairie fire. Soon, there were voices of naysayers within the Nassu tribe who had migrated and felt that they had been here long enough and that they were not obligated to take responsibility for what they had not done at all.

"What do you think?"

Sitting high enough in this riverside camp, looking at everything around him, Baibu Wushuang's ears also sounded an old and spiritual voice: "Don't you have any thoughts about the current situation?" ”

"You're still exalting me too much, old ...... Master Lufen. ”

Putting away his gaze to guard the entire camp, Baibu Wushuang tilted his head and replied meaninglessly: "I'm not a cultural person like you who spend every day leisurely hiding in a carriage, and our duty is only to keep guard, whether it is to guess other people's conspiracies or play conspiracy, it is what you people should do." ”

"That's not good, you've been with me for so long." Shaking his head, Lu Fin approached with his hands behind his back and let out a few inexplicable smiles: "Even if there is no growth in the head, I will not let go of every opportunity for you to experience it for yourself, not to mention——"

"I think those adventurers who are running around in the camp are doing a good job of this." He turned his head to look at the surrounding scene, and seemed to have seen the trajectory of Duan Qing and the others' activities from the busyness of this day: "At least it's much better than you who can only fight." ”

“…… Hum. Let out a disdainful snort, and the eyes of Baibu Wushuang, who was sitting on the top of the carriage with a longbow, finally gradually turned to Lu Fen's body: "Could it be that you plan to count the ten barrels of milk wine that you lost to the other party two days ago on my head?" That's what you did. ”

"Wherever we are, we at the Loufin Chamber of Commerce will never go back on our word." Raising his hands and shaking them in front of him, the old face that belonged to Lu Fin also squeezed out a deliberate smile at this moment: "But in the same way, you should also find a little bit of learning experience from this incident, right?" ”

"I know what you're trying to say, that Vabas really has the potential to become the current leader of the Wab clan." Closing his gaze, Baibu Wushuang replied in a low voice, "But I don't plan to take the path they seek, unless you are willing to let me go and leave the place of the Lufin Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Ha, I don't just want to let you go once or twice, it's not that you don't want to leave." Blowing his beard, the old man Lu Fen's old face was also full of wrinkles after his face was straightened at the moment: "And that time is not as good as now, now you have better choices and more ways out, and it is still too late to change the trajectory of your fate." ”

"The fate of our adventurers has always been uncertain, and it can change anytime and anywhere." Still disdainful, Baibu Wushuang's voice became much lower: "We will only remember the moments of change and the people who changed, and those will become the best memories of our adventure." ”

“……”

As if he understood what the other party was referring to at this time, the old man Lu Fin lost his voice for a while, and it was not until the wind around him rose between the two of them with the noisy atmosphere in the camp that he smiled faintly: "Don't be arrogant little guy, that is my time and fate, and it will be counted on your own head casually." ”

"Oh? Then why do you care so much about those adventurers? Do you see a shadow of yourself in the past? ”

"You're already much stronger than you used to be - is this what you've been honed over the past few years?" Not angry and sad because of the other party's sarcasm, Lu Fin held his chin and smiled: "Ah, this is really enough to make people laugh, good, very good, even if you are really still as ignorant and naïve as a young eagle, I can rest assured." ”

“…… Old guy. ”

It seemed that he had lost his patience in a conversation that did not have any advantage at all, and Baibu Wushuang put away his expression with a depressed face: "If it's okay, don't continue to bother me, hurry up and go to your meeting." ”

"And you don't have any ideas? Isn't all this important information and intelligence known? Sure enough, his words were exchanged for a more cheerful voice from the old man Lu Fen: "Don't continue to deliberately hide it, just say what you think, as a representative of the Lu Fin Chamber of Commerce, I will also listen to and adopt the opinions of many people inside the Chamber of Commerce as much as possible." ”

"I'm not going to jump into this quagmire." With a casual wave of his hand, Baibu Wushuang no longer seemed to have any intention of looking at the old man more: "Really, I don't know what kind of madness the people over there have, and they have to pull you up when they talk about such a thing." ”

"Of course, after all, we're the Loufin Chamber of Commerce." Not intending to continue teasing the player archer, the old man Lu Fen, who turned to leave, still had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth: "Our caravan, and the master of the one hundred and eighty-two guards under him-"

"These are the forces that can shake everything in this situation."

The undercurrent that surged under the wind and tide converged towards the center of the camp settlement with the old man's departure, accompanied by many other representatives of various races who were closely related to life and interests, and they gathered in a large tent with symbolic guards, and their eyes were also full of complex meanings at this time: "Ladies and gentlemen, the search has been going on for five days, and it has exceeded the time limit we set for the first time. ”

"That's right, since no one has found any useful results, then we have to abandon existing ideas and speculations." Occupying one of the corners of the tent, Sutar, representing the Sioux side, crossed his arms and raised his usual iron face: "It's time for the next step of the discussion, it's not a matter of waiting-"

"Shut up, Sioux!" It didn't seem to have the patience to listen to the middle-aged Nasu elder finish his words, and Vabasi, who was sitting on the other side of the tent, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "You are the most unqualified people to say that!" Your suspicions have not yet been cleared! ”

"Come on, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they didn't do it, and they have no reason to do it at all." Shaking his head, the old man Lu Finn, who was sitting at the end of the tripartite, replied with his eyes closed: "Of course, this reason also applies to us, because we have no reason to do it, and if we covet the cattle, sheep and horses of your little Wab tribe, we will do it as early as the first day of coming." ”

"You ——!"

"Don't get excited, it's just an analogy."

With his hands pressed downward, the old man Lu Fen once again faced the fierce strong man of the Wab tribe with a smiling face: "Put aside your inexplicable emotions and put yourself in your shoes, isn't this the case?" We really don't have any motives. ”

"Abandonment? How could I have abandoned! Still furious, the sound of Vabas slapping the table grew louder and louder with his shouting: "If your patriarch is also buried in this situation, I don't see if you will say this again!" ”

"We don't have such a patriarch as the Lufin Chamber of Commerce, as for the Sioux you're facing now...... Their patriarch had just ascended to heaven. Ignoring the other party's almost spittle on his face, the old man Lu Fin still looked leisurely: "So I'm sorry, if you really plan to go on like this, we can't empathize." ”

"What do you say? You-"

"Speaking of which, this Wabu warrior, isn't there a lot of anger today?"

Pointing to Vabas in front of him, who was being held by his own soldiers, he looked like he wanted to rush up and beat people, and Sutar, who was sitting in place, whispered to his side with his eyes half-open: "Has anyone provoked him?" You know what? ”

"Well...... Hehehehe, I don't know very well. Wiping the beads of sweat from his face, Gedmayne, who was asked, replied with a dry smile: "Maybe the wife of the family was angry and didn't let him enter the tent or something last night." ”

"I can't even control my own woman...... Such a warrior cannot be the head of a clan. Furrowing his eyebrows slightly, Sutar, who seemed to be telling the truth, also sat up straight again: "Okay, you people, don't continue to quarrel." ”

"If you don't want to end this meeting like this, then come up with more useful things." With an unangry and arrogant face, the voices of the two quarrels in front of him were all retracted, and the middle-aged elder of the Nasu tribe continued to ask with a solemn expression: "The investigation into the death of the Waqab patriarch - since you didn't let us interfere, I guess we should find out something now, right?" ”

“…… The patriarch is supposed to have died of disease. ”

Looking at his own Wabas with his head hanging and not wanting to speak, another Wab warrior standing behind him replied in a low voice: "We compared the scars on the patriarch's body with the knife left at the scene, and found no fatal marks, and the blood stains left at the scene may have been spilled there for other reasons." ”

"Before the burial, we invited the most skilled people in the clan to check on the body, and it is very likely that the patriarch had a sudden illness and had nothing to do with the alleged attack." He continued to say these words while watching the extremely quiet atmosphere inside the tent: "As for why the patriarch died at this time-"

"Say no more." Interrupting the soldier's introduction, Vabas who raised his hand said angrily: "It's not because I don't believe these words, so I want these guys to tell useful information first." ”

"We are not murderers, how can we possibly come up with useful information?" The old man who answered him, Lu Fen, curled the beard on the corner of his mouth: "Don't put the cart before the horse, you are preconceived to treat us as murderers, which is of no use to find out the truth." ”

"No, maybe it's still a little useful." Still holding his arms crossed, his eyes closed, Sutar put on a stern and serious expression: "At least it will help us understand what happened that night - go on, Wabu people." ”

"Continue? Let's not continue. Putting aside his little emotion again, Vabas turned his head to the side: "Unless you tell us more about you, including why you came here, why you are crowded with us in this place by the river, where your Surtu has gone, and—"

"And something about the Varro ruins, right?"

A loud and deep voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, accompanied by the figure that appeared in the center of the tent after Surtu suddenly lifted the curtain of the door: "Luckily, I thought you were already fighting." ”

"Sultu?" Unlike the look of surprise that rose from the other people around him, Sutar, who was the first to raise a question, spoke with a sigh in his voice: "Where did you run to such an important moment?" ”

"I'm sorry, I need to complete some missions."

Greeting his elders, Surtu, who was also extremely burly, squeezed his body and sat in front of the Wabu tribe who raised their weapons one after another: "Anyway, everything is in time, I will explain it to you, now-"

"Do you want to know what's going on at the Varro ruins?" He waved to everyone around him, and a solemn look appeared on his face: "I can tell you now." ”

"It's better for everyone to pack up and leave now, because we need to get away from that place."
